Stunning Coogee Beach 🏝️

#favouriteitinerary Coogee Beach is a stunning, relaxed beach just south of Fremantle — perfect if you want a quieter alternative to the busier beaches like Cottesloe. It’s known for its calm, clear waters, white sand, and family-friendly vibe. Here’s how to enjoy your time there: Things to Do at Coogee Beach Relax and Swim • Swimming and sunbathing: The water is usually calm thanks to the offshore breakwaters, making it ideal for a relaxing swim or floating in the sea. • Beach walk: Stroll along the beach or the Coogee Maritime Trail if you want to combine a walk with some history and coastal views. Snorkeling and the Coogee Maritime Trail • Snorkel the Omeo Wreck: The Omeo shipwreck sits just 25 meters off the shore, making it easily accessible for snorkelers. It’s now part of an underwater trail with artificial reef structures and plaques about the area’s maritime history. • If you don’t have your own snorkel gear, you can rent some in Fremantle or Perth before heading down. BBQs and Picnics • The beach has free BBQ facilities, picnic tables, and shaded areas — perfect if you want a casual lunch by the water. • Alternatively, grab takeaway from local spots like Coogee Common (farm-to-table meals) or Surfing Lizard Café for good coffee, smoothie bowls, and fresh pastries. Sunset and Photography • Coogee Beach is a fantastic sunset spot. The golden hues over the Indian Ocean are stunning, and the Omeo Wreck adds a cool focal point for photos. • If you’re up for a short walk, head to Woodman Point nearby — it offers panoramic views and is a great place for evening photography. Getting There • By car: About a 10-minute drive from Fremantle or 30-40 minutes from Perth. There’s a decent amount of free parking. • By public transport: Take the Fremantle line train to Fremantle Station, then catch the 548 bus to Coogee Beach.
